(LSJ) What is Data Science Platform?

When building teams

Market Definition/Description

Data Science Platform definition

A cohesive software application that offers a mixture of basic building blocks essential for creating all kinds of data science solution, and for incorporating those solutions into business processes, surrounding infrastructure and products.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is hyped:

Hype about AI is at its peak, but AI must be distinguished from data science and ML. Of course, data science is the core discipline for the development of AI, and ML is a core development of AI, but this is not the whole story. ML is about creating and training models; AI is about using those models to infer conclusions under certain conditions. AI is on a different level of aggregation to data science and ML. AI is at the application level.

Data Science and ML models must be combined to work together with other capabilities, such as a UI and workflow management, to constitute an AI Application.

The Report finds variety of audiences to data science and ML platforms (modified):

• Citizen data scientists who are accessing (open) data and building data science and ML models. They come from roles such as business analyst, line of business (LOB) analyst, data engineer, and application developer.

• LOB data science teams who address initiatives in areas such as digital marketing, risk management, Customer Engagement Management.

• Corporate data science teams who have strong executive sponsorship, and can take a cross-functional approach. They do model building and end-to-end process for building and deploying data science and ML models.

• Star (Mavericks) Data Scientists. The Python, R, Apache Spark Gurus.

Introducing Lifetime Studios Continuous Delivery DevOps Ready Teams

Dear Lifetime friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to explain how we work here at Lifetime Oy (Ltd). As you already know Lifetime Oy has to brands: 

Lifetime Studios 

Lifetime Studios delivers top-notch applications for customers who need mobile apps combined to best cloud back-end in the market. Android, iOS, Universal Windows Platform combined with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Telia Cloud, Tieto Cloud, among other. Not to mention our Customer own private clouds and databases.

Our flagship build at the moment is Crowd Investment Management Studio CIMS. CIMS is built using with our partner Microsoft tools and methods. Lifetime Studios is Microsoft BizSpark member. We use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and Professional versions (available for Windows 10 S and Mac), Microsoft Team Services to manage Agile Sprints, Delivery Plans, Documentation, Code and Builds and more.

right now, CIMS is ongoing a upgrade to its Deck. The key technical question is using HyperLedger Project and blockchain as information certificates and signing but possible also to money transactions. 

CIMS Advisory Board will also be updated with new people who come from our partner organisations.

I am actively seeking funding round for CIMS. CIMS is Crowd Unicorn and it aims to EU's Single Digital Market launched later this year. In the coming versions CIMS scales to be the Global Crowd Platform.

Lifetime Consulting

Lifetime Consulting deliver Full-Stack capable professional development Teams and Full-Stack capable consultants to customer projects. We use continuous development methodology, DevOps for those organisations who have adopted it. In our core toolset is Microsoft Team Services, in which it possible to create precise Delivery plans including workload management so that each our 3 to 4 person Teams delivers the best possible value to our Customers. Just in Time and in Budget.

Our Management Consulting Advisors deliver Executive Services to customers whose intention is to clarify and step-up to delivering their Digital Strategies, Processes, Apps. We love to show our clients our ideas as Demo Apps rather than PowerPoint slides. Certainly we write white papers if that what you as a valued customer want us first to do.

Our Consultants

Lifetime Consultants are Software Professionals that usually have long history in working in Large Organisations. We accept spring chickens to our teams, but I strongly believe that long history in Software Engineering is an Advantage. That said, old databases and old data is sometimes burden and waste. So all our hired consultants go through life cycle management period where using clean room technologies and cleansing we get rid of old database, find inner peace and tabula rasa. When the mind is clear newly hired consultants will go through detailed hands-on training on Topics such as Software Engineering, Business Modelling, Full-Stack Delivery and so on. Fresh minded, smiling Consultant is our flagship product.

Again, our partner Microsoft's Virtual Academy and our Training Partners seminars and certificates ensure that every our consultant are capable to deliver continuous apps whose life cycle is long and ROI are at the best possible level.

Every our consultant participate actively in Meetups and Hackatlons. We want to be there with the community and our dear colleagues. Friendly faces and small talk is an asset to us. We are here for you.

Physical exercises, I personally favor running and gym, are necessity to stay in form in this bubble business. Good Health and can do attitude, friendly personality can be worked out and learned. Our Consultants do their best to learn every Day. 

Dear Customer Call us for an Offer

Give us a go. Contact our Sales. We build Finnish Software. We also would like to hear about you as a employee. Lifetime Studios and Lifetime Consulting are building New Teams constantly.
